SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Change in Control

The Authorization Holders state that the ownership change described in the Statement is the result of the acquisition (Transaction) by Black Silverback ZC 2022 LP (Black Silverback), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) (collectively, Buyer), of a non-controlling 10% interest in the equity of Sempra Infrastructure Partners, LP (SI Partners).^[1] As set forth in the Statement, SI Partners is an upstream owner of the Authorization Holders.

The Authorization Holders further state that, at the time of the closing of the Transaction, Sempra Energy will continue to maintain control of SI Partners as the 70% majority owner, with Buyer having certain customary minority protections. As shown in Appendix B to the Statement (Post-Transaction Organizational Structure), KKR Pinnacle will retain its 20% non-controlling equity interest in SI Partners. The Authorization Holders state that Sempra Energy and the other partners of SI Partners will enter into a second amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of SI Partners, which will govern Sempra Energy's and SI Partners' minority owners' respective rights and obligations with respect to their ownership of SI Partners.

DOE Evaluation

DOE will review the Statement in accordance with its Procedures for Changes in Control Affecting Applications and Authorizations to Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC Procedures).^[2] Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this notice addresses the Authorization Holders' various existing authorizations to export LNG to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries, as identified in the Statement.^[3] If no interested person protests the change in control and DOE takes no action on its own motion, the proposed change in control will be deemed granted 30 days after publication in the Federal Register . If one or more protests are submitted, DOE will review any motions to intervene, protests, and answers, and will issue a determination as to whether the proposed change in control has been demonstrated to render the underlying authorizations inconsistent with the public interest.
